The Departure Or The Loss Of A Darling Spouse

It's heartrending to lose a spouse A very special woman who shares the house With your body, your heart and your soul It's very hard to feel losing your whole Your being, everything you have It's utterly sad and strange to feel that five Of your best fingers are cut and numb It's inconceivable to feel lost and dumb For quite a while. Losing a darling spouse Is like being swamped in a toxic niche Full of bees and ants. A greedy leech Has sucked up your blood and your mind And your brain is not feeling too kind It's painful to lose a wonderful spouse Your world has turned upside down You cannot smile. You cannot frown Everything is different, even your house Tears are flowing like a river in the summer You feel hopeless and helpless. And it's somber.
